Mutation accumulation experiments followed by whole-genome sequencing have revealed that, for several bacterial species, the rate of base-pair substitutions (BPSs) is not constant across the chromosome but varies in a wave-like pattern that is ...

Mutation accumulation and fitness in mutator subpopulations ofEscherichia coli [PDF]
Bacterial populations in clinical and laboratory settings contain a significant proportion of mutants with elevated mutation rates (mutators). Mutators have a particular advantage when multiple beneficial mutations are needed for fitness, as in antibiotic resistance.

Muller's ratchet and mutational meltdowns [PDF]
We extend our earlier work on the role of deleterious mutations in the extinction of obligately asexual populations. First, we develop analytical models for mutation accumulation that obviate the need for time-consuming computer simulations in certain ...

Network Architecture and Mutational Sensitivity of the C. elegans Metabolome
A fundamental issue in evolutionary systems biology is understanding the relationship between the topological architecture of a biological network, such as a metabolic network, and the evolution of the network. The rate at which an element in a metabolic

Mutation accumulation and the catastrophic senescence of the Pacific salmon [PDF]
The bit-string model of biological aging is used to simulate the catastrophic senescence of Pacific Salmon. We have shown that reproduction occuring only once and at a fixed age is the only ingredient needed to explain the catastrophic senescence according the mutation accumulation theory.

Deleterious mutation accumulation and the regeneration of genetic resources [PDF]
The accumulation of mildly deleterious mutations accompanying recurrent regeneration of plant germ plasm was modeled under regeneration conditions characterized by different amounts of selection and genetic drift. Under some regeneration conditions (sample sizes ≥75 individuals and bulk harvesting of seed) mutation accumulation was negligible, but ...

Strains and mutation accumulation lines.
The mutational processes dictating the accumulation of mutations in genomes are shaped by genetic background, environment and their interactions. Accurate quantification of mutation rates and spectra under drugs has important implications in disease ...

Accumulation of mutations in sexual and asexual populations
SummaryThe accumulation of beneficial and harmful mutations in a genome is studied by using analytical methods as well as computer simulation for different modes of reproduction. The modes of reproduction examined are biparental (bisexual, hermaphroditic), uniparental (selfing, automictic, asexual) and mixed (partial selfing, mixture of hermaphroditism
